G  C/G  G  C/G
[Verse 1]
GThat's a big old Ctown, but it's full of GliarsC  
GMen in suits sell Cwater 'fore they run their GfiresAm  
CSo many lights, you can't see the stars
And so many bars pourin' hope for broken GheartsC  
BeAm7lieve in the priests who think that God is gone
If you're Dwondering what I'm runnin' fromG  C  G  
[Verse 2]
GWhen I was Cyoung, I couldn't sing about GJesusC  
GNow, I'm not Csure if if I'm a beGliever
It's Chard to tell 'tween faith and fear
So these old hands haven't seen a prayer for Gyears
Am7Try to save my soul with a Sunday song
If you're Dwondering what I'm runnin' from
[Piano Solo]

[Verse 3]
GI'm afraid of Clove 'cause I'm afraid of Gfallin'C  
GSo I can never Cgive what you really Gwanted
CYou can't fail if you nеver try
And you can't get burned if you nеver play with Gfire
But the Ammemory of her is never gone
If you're Dwondering what I'm runnin' from
[Interlude]
G C G C
[Verse 4]
GSo pour one Cmore for this lonely GramblerC  
GWho is too aCfraid to be a high-stakes Ggambler
I Cwear my story on my skin
But what you don't see is the black dog folloGwin'
It's Am7been right behind me all along
DMaybe it's me that I'm runnin' fromG  
It's Am7been right behind me all along
Oh, Dmaybe it's me that I'm runnin' from
